Wouldn't you need a small analog board for the interface to the CO. A D41/ESC for example.
Also, there are some other things to consider such as number of internal phones in order to ensure that sufficient voice resources are available.
My memory fails me as to how many resources are available on a D41/ESC but if you are wishing to support more than ~4-8 internal phones, you'll need a resource board.
So, that's a MSI board, a D board (analog or digital), and possibly a voice-resource board. All in all, this is getting to be a chunk of change.
(not to mention that the older models are full-length ISA boards, so good luck finding a good case)
Not that it can't be done, it is just more difficult and expensive than a PnP board that you install for fun.
Check out Backbone Security. We've got a variety of credentials, & experience in the State & Federal govt.
Some sample credentials are:
Follow the National Security Agency's Infosec Assessment Methodology (IAM), & are one of 7 companies certified to perform thes audits. (We ranked third by the NSA's certification team, while in competition w/ such companies as Lucent, Booz-Allen, etc.)
All personnel have Secret or above security clearances from the US Govt.
80% of personnel have CISSP certifications.
Policy of *not* hiring known hackers (for a variety of reasons).
I won't bore anyone else with marketing-speak, but check us out
One of the rather interesting things about Mines (well, anything w/ explosives), is the fact that they become chemically unstable after time. To the point where disabling them mechanically does not remove the actual danger.
You could have a mine w/ the detonation system completely destroyed, but if it is dropped/mishandled, it will go off and do just as much damage to the disposal team. I honestly don't see any other way to dispose of them, without using fire to fight fire (blowing up a mine w/ an explosive).
I can't believe he moved the backspace key. I know that proper typing technique is to use your right thumb for the space bar, but since I had surgery on my right thumb while learning to type, it's been left thumb spacing for me. I could *never* use this keyboard layout.
I'm sure that other people use the left thumb for the space as well. Grrrr...
I work for a company called Backbone Security, and we provide vulnerability assessment services. We do audits of not only the external network, but also the internal network, the physical security aspects, and workstation security vulnerabilities.
I'm not really a salesman, just a techie, but if you're interested or you'd like more info, you can contact me here. Good luck in your search
What I got out of the article, is that they wanted to see if one player always has an advantage over another. Take the classic AI example of last one loses. Two players start w/ a stack of 7 toothpicks/chips/doritoes. During each person's turn, they have the ability to take one, two, or three items. It can be proven by expanding the game tree (96 nodes from the simple scenario) and doing and/or calculations on that tree, that the player who goes first can always win, provided that they make the proper moves. If this is the case w/ Chess, then the size of the game-tree is going to be mind-boggling huge, and would require the resources of several Beowolf clusters, for several months/years (I forget the computational power of a single cluster. Rough approximation:)
Just had a thought from surfing through the/. home page. The DeCSS article and Distributed.net article just happend to be within an article of each other. So, why not combine them. Just from figuring out one key, these guys were able to figure out ~120 working keys. Why don't be brute force it, a la Distributed.net, and really put a bug up the MPIA's ass?
I don't think that there is going to be true acceptance of email as a replacement for snail mail. The reason is not the lack of security, or the conflicting standards, or whatever, the problem is that if it has to do with a computer, some people are going to be wary of it.
Another problem is the lack of personality of a regular email, the lack of humanity. There is only so much personalization that you can do with an email. You have the regular emoticons, and strange fonts; but they just aren't the same as big loopy handwriting, with smily faces dotting the "i's".
Until there is some way to do something like this, I believe that the USPS will still be in business for a good deal longer. What really needs to be done, is to have some "datapad" type deal, that allows you to access your email easily, let's you write in your own handwriting (maybe translating it if it is atrocious like mine). Think of a Palm VII with a nasty crack habit.
Well, umm, I am just tossing ideas out, so this is the end:)
True hackers just do it to see if they can. Aside from the script kiddies (like you Abe), hackers just want to see if it can be done. Or more importantly, to try and improve security by it.
You are nothing more than an inside trader; A fighter taking a dive. There was no call to use that information for your own good. Frankly, I'm surprised that MTV hasn't sued you for misrepresenting yourself.
I am honestly disgusted by this event, and most importantly that/. is degrading itself by even presenting this forum.

Holy crap! I live across the street from there! Behind (what used to be) Gators. Small world :D
